4.5 stars. Excellent.

3.75 stars. This book was different than I had expected, but in a good way! I listened to the audio version, and the narrator was excellent. The first half is a bit slow, but stick with it because the plot picks up in the second half.

This is my first time reading (listening) to King, and it did not disappoint. Soooo creepy and unsettling. John Glover is an excellent narrator as well.

This book was an interesting look into the science of fear, and why people love seeking out thrills and scary situations, such as roller coasters or haunted houses. The only thing I wanted to learn more about was why certain people (like me) don't find scary situations appealing. Personally, all but one of the situations Kerr put herself in sounded extremely unappealing to me, and I wanted to know why!
